Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: The study was conducted to evaluate the functional outcome of operative treatment of distal femur fractures treated with supracondylar femur nail.

Material and Methods: This study was conducted at tertiary care hospital from July 2015 to July 2017 in 25 patients. Patients with close fracture distal femur were classified according to Muller�s classification and operated with supracondylar femur nail either close or open, and followed up for atleast 6months. The results were evaluated based on Mehrotra�s criteria.

Results : Most common mode of injury was RTA which is in slightly younger age group(35 years). Most common fracture type was A–1. Closed reduction was achived in 88% of cases. Final results were excellent in 84% cases.

Conclusion: Intramedullary supracondylar should be treatment of choice in closed fracture distal femur, particularly for types A, C–1, C–2. But for long follow up and large sample size needed.
